MIT Museum Filming Guidelines

MIT Museum Filming Guidelines

The MIT Museum is a small museum that is very busy during certain periods of the year, and our first priority is to protect the objects on display. Although we do our best to accommodate the needs of filmmakers and television crews, it is not aways possible. All crews must be escorted by Museum staff during filming. Please use these additional guidelines to determine whether or not you want to pursue filming at the MIT Museum.

All filming privileges are at the discretion of the MIT Museum.

Advance notice required
We generally need at least two weeks to schedule a crew.

Fees
$300 nonrefundable fee for a three-hour maximum time in the museum. Additional staffing charges may apply.
